That's not an option. The only reason it was in "folklore" was because it was in the public domain. If your proposal had been adopted in the past, this folklore could not have existed, as it would have been copyrighted the moment someone created it.
Your proposal would mean an end to folklore. Folklore and the public domain are the same thing.
